This week I was the victim of Identity Theft. I don't think anybody was hurt, but a crime was definitely committed, and the criminals were not caught.
On Monday I received a welcome packet from
First Data, complete with charge slips and a sticker to put on my business window. The account was in the name of a company I used to own that had at one time processed credit card transactions with a merchant account.
On Tuesday morning I called First Data. We decided that this was just a mistake and I should throw the kit out.
